BRUSSELS—At its 14th General Assembly (GA#14) meeting, conducted online through a written procedure, EOSC Association Member and Mandated Organisations unanimously approved two key decisions: the adoption of version 2.0 of the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda of the European Open Science Cloud (SRIA 2.0) and a revision of Article 4.1(5) of the EOSC Association’s Internal Regulations.
The strong participation reflected the importance of the decisions. 114 delegates, representing 73% of all Member organisations, took part in the written procedure. Among these were 22 Mandated Organisations and 92 Members, the two bodies constituting the required double-majority vote.
The voting period ran from 01 to 13 September 2026, with votes cast through the Helios Voting platform.
A clear mandate for SRIA 2.0
The General Assembly gave unanimous backing to the second version of the SRIA, with 111 votes in favour. The document, co-owned by EOSC-A and the European Commission, sets out a shared vision for the next phase of EOSC and provides the strategic framework for the EOSC Partnership for 2026–2030.
SRIA 2.0 was developed through a collaborative, iterative process involving the EOSC Association membership, the European Commission (Directorate-General for Research and Innovation), and the EOSC-A Board of Directors. The approved document is now undergoing final layout and formatting and will be publicly released following its approval by the Partnership Board.
Updated Internal Regulations approved
GA#14 also unanimously approved a revision to Article 4.1(5) of the EOSC Association’s Internal Regulations, with 22 votes from Mandated Organisations and 89 votes from Member Organisations in favour. The vote resulted in the adoption of the updated Internal Regulations (version 1.1), which are now publicly available on eosc.eu.
The high level of participation and the strong support for both proposals underline the commitment of EOSC-A membership to shaping the next phase of EOSC together.
